Is it possible to be allergic to fabric softener?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are certain components in detergents, soaps, fabric softeners and cosmetics that can cause a rash called "contact dermatitis." in general, it is better to use detergents and soaps that do not have perfumes or dyes, and i recommend not using fabric softeners and dryer sheets.
